Personally, although I recognize the historical inaccuracies, they don't bother me and I love both authors. Real life in the 1800's was pretty grim, especially for women, so I'm fine with authors whose characters act more modern and whose plots are completely unrealistic for the times  |
Technically, the publishers hardly ever let some authors be correct with the history. Like the earlier discussion this week, you can make some readers angry because they would not like the heroine to be 13 or 14 when they get married. Or younger. They make them edit it. I heard this from a panel of authors at a RT convention. This was the answer to the question about some mistakes or historical inaccuracies. The publishers do not think that "normal readers" really care about the history as much as the romance in the book.
This was the panels combined answer. I am sure some publishers are better than others. Some authors are better than others. But I enjoy the reading. I am not picky.I just want to read.
Oh Blossom, I came out from under the bed today. I do not have Windsong. I do have all of the Fortune Trilogy, the Alexander trilogy, and several of the Indian romances but no Windsong.
